ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is directed to a ballast and a projector. In one embodiment, a ballast comprises an igniter circuit. The igniter circuit is configured to apply a first voltage and a second voltage having opposite polarities to a base electrode and a leading electrode of a high-pressure discharge lamp. At a start of a lighting of the lamp an absolute value of the first voltage applied to one of the electrodes of the lamp is larger than an absolute value of the second voltage applied to the other of the electrodes of the lamp.
